Western Oregon University has approximately 95 Smart Classrooms and Smart
Classroom computer labs, supported by Classroom Support in the University Computing
Services department. Smart Classrooms are technology enhanced classrooms, which allow
faculty to easily present dynamic multimedia content to their students. These rooms allow
an instructor to walk into the room, log into the networked computer, select how they would
like to present their content using the touch panel, and project this onto the large projection
screen(s). Full time staff are on call to quickly provide knowledgeable assistance to faculty and
staff should they experience equipment or network issues.

A second high lumen, high definition video projector with the ability to matrix content to either or both projectors
